100th anniversary
"Comrades and friends,
Today, the first of July, is a great and solemn
day in the history of both the Communist Party of
China (CPC) and the Chinese nation. We gather here
to join all Party members and Chinese people of all
ethnic groups around the country in celebrating the
centenary of the Party, looking back on the glorious
journey the Party has traveled over 100 years of
struggle, and looking ahead to the bright prospects
for the rejuvenation of the Chinese nation.
To begin, let me extend warm congratulations to
all Party members on behalf of the CPC Central
Committee.
On this special occasion, it is my honor to
declare on behalf of the Party and the people that
through the continued efforts of the whole Party and
the entire nation, we have realized the first
centenary goal of building a moderately prosperous
society in all respects. This means that we have
brought about a historic resolution to the problem
of absolute poverty in China, and we are now
marching in confident strides toward the second
centenary goal of building China into a great modern
socialist country in all respects. This is a great
and glorious accomplishment for the Chinese nation,
for the Chinese people, and for the Communist Party
of China!
Comrades and friends,
The Chinese nation is a great nation. With a
history of more than 5,000 years, China has made
indelible contributions to the progress of human
civilization. After the Opium War of 1840, however,
China was gradually reduced to a semi-colonial,
semi-feudal society and suffered greater ravages
than ever before. The country endured intense
humiliation, the people were subjected to great
pain, and the Chinese civilization was plunged into
darkness. Since that time, national rejuvenation has
been the greatest dream of the Chinese people and
the Chinese nation.
To save the nation from peril, the Chinese people
put up a courageous fight. As noble-minded patriots
sought to pull the nation together, the Taiping
Heavenly Kingdom Movement, the Reform Movement of
1898, the Yihetuan Movement, and the Revolution of
1911 rose one after the other, and a variety of
plans were devised to ensure national survival, but
all of these ended in failure. China was in urgent
need of new ideas to lead the movement to save the
nation and a new organization to rally revolutionary
forces.
With the salvoes of Russia's October Revolution
in 1917, Marxism-Leninism was brought to China. Then
in 1921, as the Chinese people and the Chinese
nation were undergoing a great awakening and
Marxism-Leninism was becoming closely integrated
with the Chinese workers' movement, the Communist
Party of China was born. The founding of a communist
party in China was an epoch-making event, which
profoundly changed the course of Chinese history in
modern times, transformed the future of the Chinese
people and nation, and altered the landscape of
world development.
Since the very day of its founding, the Party has
made seeking happiness for the Chinese people and
rejuvenation for the Chinese nation its aspiration
and mission. All the struggle, sacrifice, and
creation through which the Party has united and led
the Chinese people over the past hundred years has
been tied together by one ultimate theme-bringing
about the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation.
To realize national rejuvenation, the Party
united and led the Chinese people in fighting bloody
battles with unyielding determination, achieving
great success in the new-democratic revolution.
Through the Northern Expedition, the Agrarian
Revolutionary War, the War of Resistance against
Japanese Aggression, and the War of Liberation, we
fought armed counter-revolution with armed
revolution, toppling the three mountains of
imperialism, feudalism, and bureaucrat-capitalism
and establishing the People's Republic of China,
which made the people masters of the country. We
thus secured our nation's independence and liberated
our people.
The victory of the new-democratic revolution put
an end to China's history as a semi-colonial,
semi-feudal society, to the state of total disunity
that existed in old China, and to all the unequal
treaties imposed on our country by foreign powers
and all the privileges that imperialist powers
enjoyed in China. It created the fundamental social
conditions for realizing national rejuvenation.
Through tenacious struggle, the Party and the
Chinese people showed the world that the Chinese
people had stood up, and that the time in which the
Chinese nation could be bullied and abused by others
was gone forever.

To realize national rejuvenation, the Party
united and led the Chinese people in endeavoring to
build a stronger China with a spirit of
self-reliance, achieving great success in socialist
revolution and construction.
By carrying out socialist revolution, we
eliminated the exploitative and repressive feudal
system that had persisted in China for thousands of
years, and established socialism as our basic
system. In the process of socialist construction, we
overcame subversion, sabotage, and armed provocation
by imperialist and hegemonic powers, and brought
about the most extensive and profound social changes
in the history of the Chinese nation. This great
transformation of China from a poor and backward
country in the East with a large population into a
socialist country laid down the fundamental
political conditions and the institutional
foundations necessary for realizing national
rejuvenation.
Through tenacious struggle, the Party and the
Chinese people showed the world that the Chinese
people were capable of not only dismantling the old
world, but also building a new one, that only
socialism could save China, and that only socialism
with Chinese characteristics could develop China.
To realize national rejuvenation, the Party
united and led the Chinese people in freeing the
mind and forging ahead, achieving great success in
reform, opening up, and socialist modernization.
We established the Party's basic line for the
primary stage of socialism, resolutely advanced
reform and opening up, overcame risks and challenges
from every direction, and founded, upheld,
safeguarded, and developed socialism with Chinese
characteristics, thus bringing about a major turn
with far-reaching significance in the history of the
Party since the founding of the People's Republic of
China. This enabled China to transform itself from a
highly centralized planned economy to a socialist
market economy brimming with vitality, and from a
country that was largely isolated to one that is
open to the outside world across the board. It also
enabled China to achieve the historic leap from a
country with relatively backward productive forces
to the world's second largest economy, and to make
the historic transformation of raising the living
standards of its people from bare subsistence to an
overall level of moderate prosperity, and then
ultimately to moderate prosperity in all respects.
These achievements fueled the push toward national
rejuvenation by providing institutional guarantees
imbued with new energy as well as the material
conditions for rapid development.
Through tenacious struggle, the Party and the
Chinese people showed the world that by pursuing
reform and opening up, a crucial move in making
China what it is today, China had caught up with the
times in great strides.
To realize national rejuvenation, the Party has
united and led the Chinese people in pursuing a
great struggle, a great project, a great cause, and
a great dream through a spirit of self-confidence,
self-reliance, and innovation, achieving great
success for socialism with Chinese characteristics
in the new era.
Following the Party's 18th National Congress,
socialism with Chinese characteristics entered a new
era. In this new era, we have upheld and
strengthened the Party's overall leadership, ensured
coordinated implementation of the five-sphere
integrated plan and the four-pronged comprehensive
strategy, upheld and improved the system of
socialism with Chinese characteristics, modernized
China's system and capacity for governance, remained
committed to exercising rule-based governance over
the Party, and developed a sound system of
intraparty regulations. We have overcome a long list
of major risks and challenges, fulfilled the first
centenary goal, and set out strategic steps for
achieving the second centenary goal. All the
historic achievements and changes in the cause of
the Party and the country have provided the cause of
national rejuvenation with more robust institutions,
stronger material foundations, and a source of
inspiration for taking greater initiative.
Through tenacious struggle, the Party and the
Chinese people have shown the world that the Chinese
nation has achieved the tremendous transformation
from standing up and growing prosperous to becoming
strong, and that China's national rejuvenation has
become a historical inevitability.
Over the past hundred years, the Party has united
and led the Chinese people in writing the most
magnificent chapter in the millennia-long history of
the Chinese nation, embodying the dauntless spirit
that Mao Zedong expressed when he wrote, "Our minds
grow stronger for the martyrs' sacrifice, daring to
make the sun and the moon shine in the new sky." The
great path we have pioneered, the great cause we
have undertaken, and the great achievements we have
made over the past century will go down in the
annals of the development of the Chinese nation and
of human civilization.
A hundred years ago, the pioneers of Communism in
China established the Communist Party of China and
developed the great founding spirit of the Party,
which is comprised of the following principles:
upholding truth and ideals, staying true to our
original aspiration and founding mission, fighting
bravely without fear of sacrifice, and remaining
loyal to the Party and faithful to the people. This
spirit is the Party's source of strength.
Over the past hundred years, the Party has
carried forward this great founding spirit. Through
its protracted struggles, it has developed a long
line of inspiring principles for Chinese Communists
and tempered a distinct political character. As
history has kept moving forward, the spirit of the
Party has been passed on from generation to
generation. We will continue to promote our glorious
traditions and sustain our revolutionary legacy, so
that the great founding spirit of the Party will
always be kept alive and carried forward.
Comrades and friends,
We owe all that we have achieved over the past
hundred years to the concerted efforts of the
Chinese Communists, the Chinese people, and the
Chinese nation. Chinese Communists, with comrades
Mao Zedong, Deng Xiaoping, Jiang Zemin, and Hu
Jintao as their chief representatives, have made
tremendous and historic contributions to the
rejuvenation of the Chinese nation. To them, we
express our highest respect.
Let us take this moment to cherish the memory of
comrades Mao Zedong, Zhou Enlai, Liu Shaoqi, Zhu De,
Deng Xiaoping, Chen Yun, and other veteran
revolutionaries who contributed greatly to China's
revolution, construction, and reform, and to the
founding, consolidation, and development of the
Communist Party of China; let us cherish the memory
of the revolutionary martyrs who bravely laid down
their lives to establish, defend, and develop the
People's Republic; let us cherish the memory of
those who dedicated their lives to reform, opening
up, and socialist modernization; and let us cherish
the memory of all the men and women who fought
tenaciously for national independence and the
liberation of the people in modern times. Their
great contributions to our motherland and our nation
will be immortalized in the annals of history, and
their noble spirit will live on forever in the
hearts of the Chinese people.
The people are the true heroes, for it is they
who create history. On behalf of the CPC Central
Committee, I would like to pay my highest respects
to workers, farmers, and intellectuals across the
country; to other political parties, public figures
without party affiliation, people's organizations,
and patriotic figures from all sectors of society;
to all members of the People's Liberation Army, the
People's Armed Police Force, the public security
police, and the fire and rescue services; to all
socialist working people; and to all members of the
united front. I would like to extend my sincere
greetings to compatriots in the Hong Kong and Macao
special administrative regions and in Taiwan as well
as overseas Chinese. And I would like to express my
heartfelt gratitude to people and friends from
around the world who have shown friendship to the
Chinese people and understanding and support for
China's endeavors in revolution, development, and
reform.
Comrades and friends,
Though our Party's founding mission is easy to
define, ensuring that we stay true to this mission
is a more difficult task. By learning from history,
we can understand why powers rise and fall. Through
the mirror of history, we can find where we
currently stand and gain foresight into the future.
Looking back on the Party's 100-year history, we can
see why we were successful in the past and how we
can continue to succeed in the future. This will
ensure that we act with greater resolve and purpose
in staying true to our founding mission and pursuing
a better future on the new journey that lies before
us.
As we put conscious effort into learning from
history to create a bright future, we must bear the
following in mind:
We must uphold the firm leadership of the Party.
China's success hinges on the Party. The more than
180-year-long modern history of the Chinese nation,
the 100-year-long history of the Party, and the more
than 70-year-long history of the People's Republic
of China all provide ample evidence that without the
Communist Party of China, there would be no new
China and no national rejuvenation. The Party was
chosen by history and the people. The leadership of
the Party is the defining feature of socialism with
Chinese characteristics and constitutes the greatest
strength of this system. It is the foundation and
lifeblood of the Party and the country, and the crux
upon which the interests and wellbeing of all
Chinese people depend.
On the journey ahead, we must uphold the Party's
overall leadership and continue to enhance its
leadership. We must be deeply conscious of the need
to maintain political integrity, think in
big-picture terms, follow the leadership core, and
keep in alignment with the central Party leadership.
We must stay confident in the path, theory, system,
and culture of socialism with Chinese
characteristics. We must uphold the core position of
the General Secretary on the Party Central Committee
and in the Party as a whole, and uphold the Central
Committee's authority and its centralized, unified
leadership. Bearing in mind the country's most
fundamental interests, we must enhance the Party's
capacity to conduct sound, democratic, and law-based
governance, and ensure that it fully exerts its core
role in providing overall leadership and
coordinating the efforts of all sides.
We must unite and lead the Chinese people in
working ceaselessly for a better life. This country
is its people; the people are the country. As we
have fought to establish and consolidate our
leadership over the country, we have in fact been
fighting to earn and keep the people's support. The
Party has in the people its roots, its lifeblood,
and its source of strength. The Party has always
represented the fundamental interests of all Chinese
people; it stands with them through thick and thin
and shares a common fate with them. The Party has no
special interests of its own-it has never
represented any individual interest group, power
group, or privileged stratum. Any attempt to divide
the Party from the Chinese people or to set the
people against the Party is bound to fail. The more
than 95 million Party members and the more than 1.4
billion Chinese people will never allow such a
scenario to come to pass.
On the journey ahead, we must rely closely on the
people to create history. Upholding the Party's
fundamental purpose of wholeheartedly serving the
people, we will stand firmly with the people,
implement the Party's mass line, respect the
people's creativity, and practice a people-centered
philosophy of development. We will develop
whole-process people's democracy, safeguard social
fairness and justice, and resolve the imbalances and
inadequacies in development and the most pressing
difficulties and problems that are of great concern
to the people. In doing so, we will make more
notable and substantive progress toward achieving
well-rounded human development and common prosperity
for all.
We must continue to adapt Marxism to the Chinese
context. Marxism is the fundamental guiding ideology
upon which our Party and country are founded; it is
the very soul of our Party and the banner under
which it strives. The Communist Party of China
upholds the basic tenets of Marxism and the
principle of seeking truth from facts. Based on
China's realities, we have developed keen insights
into the trends of the day, seized the initiative in
history, and made painstaking explorations. We have
thus been able to keep adapting Marxism to the
Chinese context and the needs of our times, and to
guide the Chinese people in advancing our great
social revolution. At the fundamental level, the
capability of our Party and the strengths of
socialism with Chinese characteristics are
attributable to the fact that Marxism works.
On the journey ahead, we must continue to uphold
Marxism-Leninism, Mao Zedong Thought, Deng Xiaoping
Theory, the Theory of Three Represents, and the
Scientific Outlook on Development, and fully
implement the Thought on Socialism with Chinese
Characteristics for a New Era. We must continue to
adapt the basic tenets of Marxism to China's
specific realities and its fine traditional culture.
We will use Marxism to observe, understand, and
steer the trends of our times, and continue to
develop the Marxism of contemporary China and in the
21st century.
We must uphold and develop socialism with Chinese
characteristics. We must follow our own path-this is
the bedrock that underpins all the theories and
practices of our Party. More than that, it is the
historical conclusion our Party has drawn from its
struggles over the past century. Socialism with
Chinese characteristics is a fundamental achievement
of the Party and the people, forged through
innumerable hardships and great sacrifices, and it
is the right path for us to achieve national
rejuvenation. As we have upheld and developed
socialism with Chinese characteristics and driven
coordinated progress in material, political,
cultural-ethical, social, and ecological terms, we
have pioneered a new and uniquely Chinese path to
modernization, and created a new model for human
advancement.
On the journey ahead, we must adhere to the
Party's basic theory, line, and policy, and
implement the five-sphere integrated plan and the
four-pronged comprehensive strategy. We must deepen
reform and opening up across the board, ground our
work in this new stage of development, fully and
faithfully apply the new development philosophy, and
foster a new pattern of development. We must promote
high-quality development and build up our country's
strength in science and technology. We must ensure
it is our people who run the country, continue to
govern based on the rule of law, and uphold the core
socialist values. We must ensure and enhance public
wellbeing in the course of development, promote
harmony between humanity and nature, and take
well-coordinated steps toward making our people
prosperous, our nation strong, and our country
beautiful.
The Chinese nation has fostered a splendid
civilization over more than 5,000 years of history.
The Party has also acquired a wealth of experience
through its endeavors over the past 100 years and
during more than 70 years of governance. At the same
time, we are also eager to learn what lessons we can
from the achievements of other cultures, and welcome
helpful suggestions and constructive criticism. We
will not, however, accept sanctimonious preaching
from those who feel they have the right to lecture
us. The Party and the Chinese people will keep
moving confidently forward in broad strides along
the path that we have chosen for ourselves, and we
will make sure the destiny of China's development
and progress remains firmly in our own hands.
We must accelerate the modernization of national
defense and the armed forces. A strong country must
have a strong military, as only then can it
guarantee the security of the nation. At the point
that it was engaged in violent struggle, the Party
came to recognize the irrefutable truth that it must
command the gun and build a people's military of its
own. The people's military has made indelible
achievements on behalf of the Party and the people.
It is a strong pillar for safeguarding our socialist
country and preserving national dignity, and a
powerful force for protecting peace in our region
and beyond.
On the journey ahead, we must fully implement the
Party's thinking on strengthening the military in
the new era as well as our military strategy for the
new era, maintain the Party's absolute leadership
over the people's armed forces, and follow a Chinese
path to military development. We will take
comprehensive measures to enhance the political
loyalty of the armed forces, to strengthen them
through reform and technology and the training of
competent personnel, and to run them in accordance
with the law. We will elevate our people's armed
forces to world-class standards so that we are
equipped with greater capacity and more reliable
means for safeguarding our national sovereignty,
security, and development interests.
We must continue working to promote the building
of a human community with a shared future. Peace,
concord, and harmony are ideas the Chinese nation
has pursued and carried forward for more than 5,000
years. The Chinese nation does not carry aggressive
or hegemonic traits in its genes. The Party cares
about the future of humanity, and wishes to move
forward in tandem with all progressive forces around
the world. China has always worked to safeguard
world peace, contribute to global development, and
preserve international order.
On the journey ahead, we will remain committed to
promoting peace, development, cooperation, and
mutual benefit, to an independent foreign policy of
peace, and to the path of peaceful development. We
will work to build a new type of international
relations and a human community with a shared
future, promote high-quality development of the Belt
and Road Initiative through joint efforts, and use
China's new achievements in development to provide
the world with new opportunities. The Party will
continue to work with all peace-loving countries and
peoples to promote the shared human values of peace,
development, fairness, justice, democracy, and
freedom. We will continue to champion cooperation
over confrontation, to open up rather than closing
our doors, and to focus on mutual benefits instead
of zero-sum games. We will oppose hegemony and power
politics, and strive to keep the wheels of history
rolling toward bright horizons.
We Chinese are a people who uphold justice and
are not intimidated by threats of force. As a
nation, we have a strong sense of pride and
confidence. We have never bullied, oppressed, or
subjugated the people of any other country, and we
never will. By the same token, we will never allow
any foreign force to bully, oppress, or subjugate
us. Anyone who would attempt to do so will find
themselves on a collision course with a great wall
of steel forged by over 1.4 billion Chinese people.
We must carry out a great struggle with many
contemporary features. Having the courage to fight
and the fortitude to win is what has made our Party
invincible. Realizing our great dream will require
hard work and persistence. Today, we are closer,
more confident, and more capable than ever before of
making the goal of national rejuvenation a reality.
But we must be prepared to work harder than ever to
get there.
On the journey ahead, we must demonstrate
stronger vigilance and always be prepared for
potential danger, even in times of calm. We must
adopt a holistic approach to national security that
balances development and security imperatives, and
implement the national rejuvenation strategy within
a wider context of the once-in-a-century changes
taking place in the world. We need to acquire a full
understanding of the new features and requirements
arising from the change to the principal
contradiction in Chinese society and the new issues
and challenges stemming from a complicated
international environment. We must be both brave and
adept in carrying out our struggle, forging new
paths and building new bridges wherever necessary to
take us past all risks and challenges.
We must strengthen the great unity of the Chinese
people. In the course of our struggles over the past
century, the Party has always placed the united
front in a position of importance. We have
constantly consolidated and developed the broadest
possible united front, united all the forces that
can be united, mobilized all positive factors that
can be mobilized, and pooled as much strength as
possible for collective endeavors. The patriotic
united front is an important means for the Party to
unite all the sons and daughters of the Chinese
nation, both at home and abroad, behind the goal of
national rejuvenation.
On the journey ahead, we must ensure great unity
and solidarity and balance commonality and
diversity. We should strengthen theoretical and
political guidance, build broad consensus, bring
together the brightest minds, and expand common
ground and the convergence of interests, so that all
Chinese people, both at home and overseas, can focus
their ingenuity and energy on the same goal and come
together as a mighty force for realizing national
rejuvenation.
We must continue to advance the great new project
of Party building. A hallmark that distinguishes the
Communist Party of China from other political
parties is its courage in undertaking self-reform.
An important reason why the Party remains so vital
and vibrant despite having undergone so many trials
and tribulations is that it practices effective
self-supervision and full and rigorous
self-governance. It has thus been able to respond
appropriately to the risks and tests of different
historical periods, to ensure that it always remains
at the forefront of the times even as profound
changes sweep the global landscape, and to stand
firm as the backbone of the nation throughout the
process of meeting various risks and challenges at
home and abroad.
On the journey ahead, we must keep firmly in mind
the old adage that it takes a good blacksmith to
make good steel. We must demonstrate greater
political awareness of the fact that full and
rigorous self-governance is a never-ending journey.
With strengthening the Party politically as our
overarching principle, we must continue advancing
the great new project of Party building in the new
era. We must tighten the Party's organizational
system, work hard to train high-caliber officials
who have both moral integrity and professional
competence, remain committed to improving Party
conduct, upholding integrity, and combating
corruption, and root out any elements that would
harm the Party's advanced nature and purity and any
viruses that would erode its health. We must ensure
that the Party preserves its essence, color, and
character, and see that it always serves as the
strong leadership core in the course of upholding
and developing socialism with Chinese
characteristics in the new era.
Comrades and friends,
We will stay true to the letter and spirit of the
principle of One Country, Two Systems, under which
the people of Hong Kong administer Hong Kong, and
the people of Macao administer Macao, both with a
high degree of autonomy. We will ensure that the
central government exercises overall jurisdiction
over Hong Kong and Macao, and implement the legal
systems and enforcement mechanisms for the two
special administrative regions to safeguard national
security. While protecting China's sovereignty,
security, and development interests, we will ensure
social stability in Hong Kong and Macao, and
maintain lasting prosperity and stability in the two
special administrative regions.
Resolving the Taiwan question and realizing
China's complete reunification is a historic mission
and an unshakable commitment of the Communist Party
of China. It is also a shared aspiration of all the
sons and daughters of the Chinese nation. We will
uphold the one-China principle and the 1992
Consensus, and advance peaceful national
reunification. All of us, compatriots on both sides
of the Taiwan Strait, must come together and move
forward in unison. We must take resolute action to
utterly defeat any attempt toward "Taiwan
independence," and work together to create a bright
future for national rejuvenation. No one should
underestimate the resolve, the will, and the ability
of the Chinese people to defend their national
sovereignty and territorial integrity.
Comrades and friends,
The future belongs to the young people, and our
hopes also rest with them. A century ago, a group of
young progressives held aloft the torch of Marxism
and searched assiduously in those dark years for
ways to rejuvenate the Chinese nation. Since then,
under the banner of the Communist Party of China,
generation after generation of young Chinese have
devoted their youth to the cause of the Party and
the people, and remained in the vanguard of the
drive to rejuvenate the nation.
In the new era, our young people should make it
their mission to contribute to national rejuvenation
and aspire to become more proud, confident, and
assured in their identity as Chinese people so that
they can live up to the promise of their youth and
the expectations of our times, our Party, and our
people.
Comrades and friends,
A century ago, at the time of its founding, the
Communist Party of China had just over 50 members.
Today, with more than 95 million members in a
country of more than 1.4 billion people, it is the
largest governing party in the world and enjoys
tremendous international influence.
A century ago, China was in decline and withering
away in the eyes of the world. Today, the image it
presents to the world is one of a thriving nation
that is advancing with unstoppable momentum toward
rejuvenation.
Over the past century, the Communist Party of
China has secured extraordinary historical
achievements on behalf of the people. Today, it is
rallying and leading the Chinese people on a new
journey toward realizing the second centenary goal.
To all Party members,
The Central Committee calls on every one of you
to stay true to our Party's founding mission and
stand firm in your ideals and convictions. Acting on
the purpose of the Party, you should always maintain
close ties with the people, empathize and work with
them, stand with them through good times and bad,
and continue working tirelessly to realize their
aspirations for a better life and to bring still
greater glory to the Party and the people.
Comrades and friends,
Today, a hundred years on from its founding, the
Communist Party of China is still in its prime, and
remains as determined as ever to achieve lasting
greatness for the Chinese nation. Looking back on
the path we have travelled and forward to the
journey that lies ahead, it is certain that with the
firm leadership of the Party and the great unity of
the Chinese people of all ethnic groups, we will
achieve the goal of building a great modern
socialist country in all respects and fulfill the
Chinese Dream of national rejuvenation.
Long live our great, glorious, and correct Party!
Long live our great, glorious, and heroic
people!"
